Pte. Leslie Malcolm Cotterell
British Army 16th Btn. Royal Warwickshire Regiment
My Grandfather, Leslie Cotterell was badly wounded in attack on the Somme July 1916, one of the stretcher bearers bringing him back was also shot. His parents were called when he arrived back in a Southampton Hospital as they thought he would not survive. He lost one lung at age 19 and was very fortunate to recover.
